Important Safety Instructions
When using the Temptrak Liberator unit, observe the following safety instructions:
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Unplug this product from the re-charger cable before cleaning. Wipe with a damp cloth to clean.
Avoid getting moisture on the electronic connections.
3. Do not submerge the product in a liquid. Damage to the electronics will occur.
4. When storing the unit, securely place the unit onto a flat surface. Failure to do so may result in the
unit falling to the ground, possibly damaging the product.
5. The unit is powered via an internal battery. Do not use the unit while the unit is re-charging.
6. Re-charge the internal battery only via the plug-in power converter provided with the unit.
7. Do not disassemble the product. Contact your Katchall dealer if problems arise in the operation of
the unit.
The TempTrak Liberator unit is powered via an internal battery. Observe the following instructions to
avoid injury to persons or food products:
1. Do not attempt to modify or replace the internal battery. Contact your Katchall dealer if the battery
needs replacing.
2. Do not dispose of the Liberator unit in a fire. The battery within the unit may explode. Check with
local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
Wireless Operation
The TempTrak Liberator unit communicates to the other devices in the TempTrak system via radio
frequency (RF) energy. Careful placement of the unit is required to insure consistent RF communications
with other TempTrak devices. The following general considerations apply to placement of the TempTrak
Liberator unit:
1. In general, the TempTrak Liberator will communicate with a TempTrak Commander or Echo unit
at ranges up to 150 feet. This range applies only to clear line-of-sight transmission in which there
are no physical obstructions between the TempTrak Liberator unit and the TempTrak Commander
unit. A simple way to insure line-of-sight transmission is to verify that you can physically see one
unit when standing at eye level with the other unit.
2. The TempTrak Liberator unit will communicate with other TempTrak devices through walls. The
range at which communication through a wall can be achieved is a function of the materials from
which the wall is constructed. Any solid metallic materials greater than 1 square foot in area
within the direct transmission path will block the RF transmissions. In general, the following rule

Katchall Technology Group 3Revision A
of thumb can be used for transmission ranges through interior walls (drywall construction is
assumed, actual performance will vary significantly due to differences in construction material and
their subsequent impact on RF transmission):
0 walls ! 150 feet
1 wall ! 75 feet
2 walls ! 50 feet
3 walls ! 35 feet
4 walls ! 25 feet
5 walls ! 15 feet
3. Placement of the operator’s body between the TempTrak Liberator unit and the TempTrak
Commander units will decrease the effective range of the unit.
4. Do not place the TempTrak Liberator unit near a cordless telephone base unit. Interference may
result.
5. Operation of cordless phones and cell phones in near proximity to the TempTrak Liberator unit
may result in interference.
Information To The User
NOTE: The TempTrak Liberator unit has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encourage to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Caution To User: changes or modifications to this equipment that are not expressly approved by the party
responsible for FCC compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
